The manufacturing industry in South Florida may not receive the accolades or attention of the technology sector, but it certainly is holding its own in terms of economic impact.
South Florida Business & Wealth formed a new relationship with the South Florida Manufacturers Association to bring you our first list of manufacturing companies. The firms listed represent 3,607 South Florida jobs – and that is just a fraction of this market sector.
There are many, very different, products fabricated in our backyard. Things like grommets, washers and metal eyelets are produced by the billions at one firm. One plant’s output is over 2 billion aspirin per year. Other products include surgical instruments, aviation equipment, umbrellas, vitamins & other pharmaceuticals, glass & mirrors, apparel, bus bars, foam insulation, cargo restraints, injection molded plastics and electronic motor controls.
These products are sold to businesses nationwide and abroad. Check the company websites to see all of their offerings. The list of manufacturing companies is ranked by South Florida employees, then by number of total employees. If both numbers are equal for two companies, ties are listed alphabetically.
